Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of safety monitoring and construction technology in hydropower engineering, and in particular relates to an easy-to-use vibrating wire surface joint gauge. Background Technology
[0002] In hydropower projects, changes in the expansion joints on the surface of structures have a significant impact on the overall safety of the project. Expansion joint gauges are suitable for installation within and on the surface of concrete or other material structures to measure the opening (deformation) of expansion joints or perimeter joints. For example, a vibrating wire expansion joint gauge transmits stress to the vibrating wire through front and rear supports, causing a change in the wire's vibration frequency. An electromagnetic coil excites the vibrating wire and measures its frequency. The frequency signal is transmitted via an observation cable to a reading device, allowing the measurement of the displacement of the structure. The working environment of the vibrating wire expansion joint gauge is particularly important.
[0003] Additionally, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN118758190A, entitled "A Bridge Crack Detection Device and its Detection Method," relates to the field of crack detection technology. It includes a detection platform fixedly mounted on a mobile vehicle. The detection platform comprises a detection arm and crack detection components mounted on the detection arm. The detection arm includes a horizontal arm extending along the width of the bridge to the outside of the bridge railing and a vertical arm extending downward along the height of the bridge to one side of the web of the bridge's box girder. However, existing methods for measuring surface cracks in buildings suffer from inconvenient installation and fixation, leading to inconvenience in use, and the inability to promptly view and provide early warnings of the detection results.
[0004] Therefore, it is essential to invent an easy-to-use vibrating wire surface gap gauge. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides an easy-to-use vibrating wire surface crack gauge, which solves the problems of inconvenient installation and fixation for measuring surface cracks in existing building systems, resulting in inconvenience in use and the inability to view and provide timely warnings of the test results.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

During installation, the entire device is easily moved by holding the handle, increasing its convenience and flexibility, and making it suitable for various building applications. When the measured structure experiences joint displacement, it causes the displacement gauge, detection rod, and extension rod to extend and retract.

The frequency signal is transmitted via a communication cable to the integrated display unit, allowing for the measurement of the displacement of the measured structure. Simultaneously, the temperature value at the installation point can also be measured. Attached Figure Description
